Yep, picked up my shortblock on Friday. Jason did a fantastic job. Extremely detail oriented and his experience with Todd's block allowed him to know exactly what to do with mine with no surprises. I was thrashing away in the garage this weekend to take some measurements, test fit some plumbing connections, and order some parts. Will have a long post with lots of photos this week or weekend. Will be installing the motor probably Wednesday and the transmission right behind it on Thursday or Friday. Then it will take a few weeks to get everything hooked up, driveshaft shortened, 2 primaries on my driver's side header to be re-worked for more clearance around the steering box, shifter and center console plate setup, Concept One serpentine system and accessories, power steering lines, PCV/breather/oil separater system, and other minor stuff. I'm not going to rush because this is the part that I'm 'supposed' to enjoy.
